448 D. J. SCOURFIELD, SYNOPSIS OF THE KNOWN SPECIES OF 



for the latter to information kindly furnished to me by Mr. 

 J. H. Garnar. 



(3) The special lists under "South and East" England are 

 from Epping Forest (comprising the whole of the existing 

 forest and a margin on either side extending to the rivers Lea 

 and Roding) ; Richmond Park district, including Kew Gardens ; 

 and the Norfolk Broads district. These three have been given 

 in detail because they have been more systematically worked 

 than any other districts in the south-east. The Epping Forest 

 and Richmond districts also form two diametrically opposite areas 

 with regard to London, being situated to the north-east and 

 south-west of the metropolis respectively, and the characters 

 of their Entomostracan faunas offer some curious points of 

 •difference. 



(4) The " Lake District " has been given separately under 

 the JSorth of England, because it is a very interesting and 

 well-defined area, and I have had some opportunity of personally 

 working at its Entomostracan fauna. The records of Brady, 

 Beck, and Pratt have, of course, also been consulted. 



(5) The records from Wales are from the northern half only, 

 including Anglesey. I have myself collected all the species 

 mentioned, though I am indebted to Professor G. S. Brady for 

 material from several localities. 



(6) For the records from Ireland I am indebted to Creighton's 

 lists (6, 7), a note by Hodgson (12), papers by Kane (13, 14, 

 15), and my own examination of a few samples of material, 

 together with much valuaVjle information supplied to me direct 

 by Mr. Kane. 



(7) Scotland has been divided into three great divisions — a 

 southern, or " Lowland " (all the country south of a line joining 

 the Firths of Tay and Clyde), a middle, or " Highland" (all the 

 ■country north of the Lowlands as far as Ross and Cromarty), 

 and an extreme northern division (Sutherland and Caithness, to- 

 gether with the Orkney and Shetland Islands). For records of 

 Entomostraca from all parts of Scotland Mr. T. Scott's papers 

 are a mine of information, and they have been used almost 

 -exclusiv^ely for these lists. Some additional information has 

 been obtained, however, fi-om Dr. and Miss Sprague's list, and 

 from my own observations in the Trossachs, Loch Rannoch, and 

 Loch Morar districts.
